Custis Salmon vs Golden Gate

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. Custis Salmon (LRV 41) reflects noticeably more light than Golden Gate (LRV 28), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean red, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 17.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
